Dai Joukou

Once the reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Fortona, Dai Joukou continues to exert his influence behind the scenes following his abdication, guided by sharp political foresight and keen intuition. He was among the first to recognize that Nina, though serving as a 'stand-in princess,' harbored the power to alter the fate of Second Prince Azul and the kingdom itself. To protect Nina in secret and drive the kingdom toward transformation, he deliberately dispatched his trusted handmaid Hikami to accompany her. Amid the scheming and intrigue of court politics, he stands as a vital behind-the-scenes supporter of the protagonists.
